http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12374 Summary: "stylistically offset" means that this element has no semantic value whatsoever? It is jsut for style purpose? Then why not use a span? It seems strange to me that there is no specific element to mark up people.

It is jsut for style purpose? Then why not use a span? It seems strange to me that there is no specific element to mark up people. Even though there is a load of microdata available for them (relative, family, kin, met, partner, spouse, etc) so why not use the b for people (but only if they need to be marked up, e.g. to indicate relationship or in logs, etc.) It seems to me the b has no other semantic use and all other uses mentioned here could apply to span.
